I've just gotten my MRI results and I'm feeling anxious about what it all means. It says there's a diffuse disc bulge at L4-L5 causing thecal sac indentation and compression of both existing nerve roots. Also, at L5-S1, it mentions a similar disc bulge with indentation and nerve compression including bilateral neural foramina. I'm worried about what kind of symptoms or issues this could lead to. Could you explain what this might mean for my health and what steps I should take next?

I've been having this tingling sensation in my hands, feet, and all over my body. A neurologist recommended vitamins B12 and others, but the issue hasn't gone away. I've been masturbating about 5 times a week for the past 8 years. Do you think that could be causing it? What should I do?

It may be due to nerve compression in cervical spine or anywhere in shoulder side because of poor posture... You can take physiotherapy for nerve entrapment and correct posture exercises. Masterbation is not a cause for this problem.

I've been experiencing these weird sensations, like tingling or something crawling on my chest and abdomen. This all started after I injured my upper lower back and hip about 8 years ago during a stunt. Since then, I've had constant issues with pain in my lower and upper back, shoulders, and even my biceps. There's also numbness in my middle toe, and my shoulders make this clicking noise whenever I raise my arm. Plus, I've noticed that my lower back and hip areas have gotten darker. Oh, and I've got a hookworm infection too. I'm really concerned if this is more about a parasite issue or if it's related to my nerves. Its been going on for so long, and I'm just not sure whats happening. What could this possibly be?

I've been experiencing a lot of pain in my right arm whenever I cough. It's like this electric current that starts from my armpit and goes all the way to my elbow. I recently got over a cold and have been coughing really hard. Is this something I should be worried about?

This type of pain that radiates from the armpit to the elbow when coughing could be indicative of a condition known as brachial neuritis or brachial plexus neuropathy. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine may also be beneficial. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
